אני קושית יפה/I’m a Cute Black Girl

I started off my Pesach this year by doing a Mitzvah. I volunteered to help delivery some Pesach Parcels to members of our shul that are either living in 'Old Age Homes' or 'On their Own'...people that are members to our shul and we want to reach out to. Yesterday I delivered a parcel to…

Last week I was feeling very overwhelmed and so I turned to my בֵּית הַכְּנֶסֶת. "Beit knesset" (בית כנסת) is the Hebrew term for a synagogue, meaning "house of assembly" or "house of gathering".  After leaving there I felt wonderful...but of course the next day I had to go back to a job that I r...

Last Friday I read the Parasha for the week and as confusing as it was, with all the talk of how Hashem instructed the Ark and Tabernacle to be built and listed the various Golds and Copper and Linens and where it must all be used, I just got so confused about what everything was…

So I am working in a job that I am not really loving right now...funny how in the Rabbi's derasha tonigth he spoke about avidut, which means ...comes from the route world avodah, which means ...and honestly I feel as if my job is like slavery. Had my performance appraisal today....and I wasn't ex...

Today, I went to shul. I really felt the need to be in G-d's house and be surrounded with warmth. The murder of the two Bibas boys has really got to me. I don't know how any human can actually kill a child. And to think that they were strangled to death. So someone actually…

So much has been going on in my life causing me to step back from OD and just focus on what can get me through to the next day but I am slowly starting to struggle with that too and I don't know waht to do. Anyway this post isn't about that. I took part…

There is so much for me to be thankful for lately, so it is quite fitting that I am scheduled to do the announcements at Shul tomorrow. I know I shouldn't ever need a reason to go to shul on a Shabbat, but this whole week I have been feeling a pull to spend some…

Judaism is such a complex religion and a lot to understand. I also find Hashem to be a bit confusing at times...or maybe it is just the way that his words have been interpreted... The halachic permissibility of gambling rests on which of these is the reason for invalidating a gambler as a witness...

It has been a good week for me! Besides all the good that has happened to me the past few days...   I just got a message on    Chat that a hostage has been rescued. Hostage Qaid Farhan al-Qadi, 52, rescued by IDF from tunnel in Gaza | The Times of Israel The numbers of…

So much has been happened these past few weeks….and all I can say is Hashem works in wonders. For the past 2 weeks I have been beyond stressed. for disappointing my sister and father due to my reckless spending. but the sun smiled down at me through all the clouds and rain that we have…
